Gary Pemberton, Administrator at the Alexandra Hospital on Nevis delivering a report on the hospital at the Alexandra Hospital’s Annual Christmas Programme at the hospital’s grounds on December 19, 2016

He was at the time delivering a report on the hospital’s performance at the Alexandra Hospital’s Annual Christmas Programme on December 19, 2016, at the hospital’s grounds.

Pemberton stated that earlier this year one staff member went to Cuba to pursue studies in Radiography and on completion would complement the existing staff.

At present, one nurse is pursuing a Masters in Nursing/Midwifery in Taiwan, while another returned to Nevis on completion of a six-week course in Respiratory Therapy. Two other nurses also received training in specialised care there.

He said the nursing staff continues to receive training in Trauma and Emergency Care, Respiratory Care and Midwifery. Two will shortly complete training in Midwifery.

Ministry of Health recently recruited the services of two nurses from St. Vincent.

However, the hospital administrator said training is also being offered to persons interested in becoming nursing assistants. He said they offer valuable support to nurses.

Pemberton said in addition, Dr. Raymond Rohan-Moving will return to the hospital in 2017 on completion of her studies as an internist and also two General Practitioners. Their return, he said would help to improve the services at the Out Patient Department.
